About this episode
Christine Camp shares her inspiring journey from a challenging childhood to becoming a successful entrepreneur in Hawaiʻi.
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Evan Leong sits down with Christine Camp — Korean immigrant, single mother, runaway teen, and founder & CEO of Avalon Group — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about survival, identity, healing, and what it truly takes to build something meaningful in Hawaiʻi. Christine opens up about leaving Korea as a child, losing her father shortly after arriving in America, running away from home at 15 and working multiple jobs to survive, and the defining moment that sent her back home and set her on a path toward education, real estate, and purpose. From founding one of Hawaiʻi's most prolific real estate development firms to raising a son on her own, Christine reflects on the wounds that drove her success, the difference between obligation and love, and why giving others hope is the greatest thing you can do — whether you're developing land or mentoring a struggling kid who feels they have none.
